In Paris the tenement population In
creased from 142, gu persons in 1876 to
243, 564 in 1882. One block, containing
800 persons, has no water supply what
ever. The usual drainage in such build
ings is through chutes leading from differ
ent floors into q hogshead in the cellar,
which is emptied as occasion requires.
According to NJ. Naduad, there are 49,
go houses in France without any windows
whatever, light and air being admitted
through a hole in the door, which has TO
be stopped in wet or cold weather. In
Paris, although so, 900 tenements ave
been dealt with by the authorities under
the act of 1850, there are some 1000 per
sons living in single rooms without means
of warming, and half as many others
occupy rooms with no opening for light
and air. Nearly 10000 habitations con-
sist of a single room only. This over
crowding is partly the result Of the de
struction Of small buildings to make room
for costly apartment houses. municipal
commission recently appointed in Paris
proposes that cheap tenements should he
built on unoccupied sites belonging to the
city.-New York Journal.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German SyIup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs. Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty OF all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles
to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, IS
cents. Sold by all druggists and dealers
in the United States and Canada.

Crackle glass is still very fashionable.
The cracked appearance is produced by
covering the outside of the glass piece to
be cracked with a stratum Of fiux, or
fusile glass, mixed with fragments of
glass. In this condition 1t is placed in a
muffie, or open furnace, where it is
strongly heated. AS soon as the flux
melts, and the glass itself has becorne red
hot, it is removed from the furnace and
rapidly cooled. The fiux or fusible glass
under this treatment cracks and splits,
leaving innumerable fine lines Of fracture
all over its surface, having the appear
ance Of scales or irregular crystals, which
cross and intersect each other in every
direction, producing striking md beautiful
effects when the light falls upon its sur
face.-Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.

HENRY WARD BEECHER.

As will be seen elsewhere in this issue,
Henry Ward Beecher died yesterday
morning, after a brief illness, at his resi-
dencc in Brooklyn, New York, where he
has resided for the past forty years or
more. That in his death America has
lost the ablest and most eminent divine it
has ever produced, there can be but little
question, and with the exception of Spur
geon there was not a divine in the old
world that could possibly be called a rival
of the dead preacher.
Space does not admit at this time of a
review of his many characteristics and
noble qualities which have combined to
make him great and eminent, not only as
a preacher of the gospel but as an author,
orator, and we might say statesman also.
Gifted with a powerful and persuasive
eloquence. his liberality of thought, his
boldness of expression and the originality
of his views and ideas, together with his
readiness to combat error and wrong.
whether in church or state, are some of
the characteristics and virtues which he
possessed and which have made his name
illustrious for all coming time.
Henry Ward Beecher was born in
Litch6eld, Conn, June ., 1913, and grad.
uated at Amherst college in 1884. He
studied theology at Lane seminary under
the preceptorship of his father, Rev.
Lyman Beecher. In i847 he became the
pastor of Plymouth church, which posi-
ton he held until his death, more than
forty years.
During the anti slavery struggle he was
a steadfast believer in the right of the
colored man to his liberty, and when the
war OF the rebellion came he was one Of
the staunchest upholders of the Union in
all the land. During his entire life
almost he was al advocate of
temperance and practiced what he
preached upon this as well as upon every
other point. In late years Henry Ward
Beechor had also been an advocate of
woman suffrage. AS the pastor Of Ply
mouth church he soon became noted for
his eloquence and originality of thought,
and for thirty years prior to his death he
was recognized all over tho land as one of
the foremost orators of this country. AS
an author Beecher also became distin-
suished, his principal works being.
Lectures to Young Men," Star Pa
pers, % Life Thoughts" Royal
Truths, Life of Christ" Norwood"
and 'The Old Mill of Amoskey." the
last two being novels. Mr.. Beecher al
ways took lively and sometimes an &C.
tive interest in political matters, but
would never allow himself to become 80
trammeled with party shackels as to sup
port what he deemed wrong measures,
principles or men.
The people of not only America, but of
the whole civilized world, who have
known of Henry Ward Beecher, and who
have heard or read his sermons for more
than a quarter of a century. will mourn
his loss and humanity the world over will
instinctively feel that it has lost a firm
and steadfast friend in the death of the
great divine.

Are those whom a confirmed tendency to
blliousness, subject to the various and
changcful symptoms indicative of liver
complaint. Nausea, sick headache, con-
stipation, furred tongue. an unpleasant
breath, a dull or sharp pain in the neigh
boihood Of the affected organ, %impurity of
the blood and loss Of appetite, signalize it
as n of the most distressing, as it is one
of the most common, OF maladies. There
is, however. a benign specific for the dis
ease and all its unpleasant manifestations.
II is the concurrent testimony Of the pub
lie and the medical profession that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is a medicine
which achieves results speedily felt, tho
rough and benign. Besides rectifying
liver disorder, it invigorates the feeble,
conquers kidney and bladder complaints,
and hastens the convalescence of those
recovering from enfeebling diseases.
Moreover, it is the grand specific for fever
and ague.

A correspondent asks if there were any
coins made by the southern C~onfederacy.
1 answer yes, however much it may nave
been denied. There were four silver half
dollars coined, and no more. The difficulty
of obtaining bullion forced the mint to
close April 80, 1861. One is owned by
Professor Biddle, of the Louisiana univer-
sity, and another is in the possession Of
DR.. Ames, of New Orleans. l do not know
where the other two are. Copies may
have since been struck from the same die.
On the diverse of the coin is a representa-
ton of the Goddess of Liberty surrounded
by thirteen stars, denoting the thirteen
states from which the Confederacy sprung,
and on the lower rim the figures 1861.

stars, representing the seeding states,

twined around it are stalks of sugar cane

Some Senatorial pecuilaritie..

When Gen. Sam Houston, Of Texas, was
in the senate of the United States the door
keeper always provided half dozen small
sticks of white pine to be placed on his
desk every morning. When the senator
would come in he would first sharpen his
knife on a bone, which he kept in the
drawer of his desk, and then whittle one
of these pieces of pine, sometimes into n
grotesque figure, and then simply cut it
into strips or chips. When one piece was
finished he would take another, and he
generally used five u day. Mr.. Reagan
tears up paper from n of the public
documents in his desk, and when he has
several of these he tears them transversely
into small squares, which are scattered all
about him. Then he will brush small
pieces off his lap and take another page,
which in turn will be torn up into litter

A VERY DEADLY NEEDLE.
uypodermic Injections Which Frequently

uypodermic Injections Which Frequently
Cause Death-A Physicians Views.
That the drinking and smoking of lau-
danum and opium are not unknown vices
in New York, any physician will affirm.
But there is q practice which is even more
deleterious-the use of the ~hypodermic syr-
inge. To estimate the growth of this
evil it is only necessary to take the testi-
mony of druggists and dealers in surgical
instruments. The fact is it has become a
problem with which social reformers must
deal.
A reporter talked the other day with a
prominent physician upon this topic.
MANY medical men, said he, ''are IN
aware that the use of the hypodermic syr-
ingc is always attended with danger OF
instant death. The cause of this danger
Is not well understood, but the fatal acct
dents that have been recorded were not
due to the taking of larger doses than
usual by mistake, nor to the cumulative
effects of the drug. Cases nave occurred
in which persons have taken large doses
for months without producing n single I'M
pleasant symptom, and have died in n few
minutes from the effects Of a quarter Of
the habitual quantity taken in the usual
manner and at the regular hour.
There is danger of fatality against
WHICH III NlBLhuCe GILL buhru. luo SfIHp-
toms are not always so severe us to pro
duce coma unless arrested. They occur
about once in 100 administrations, and
prove fatal at least once in ten. That Is
to say, n man who uses the hypodermic
syringe at the rate of ten punctures day,
which is n very moderate average, should
encounter the symptoms and their at
tcndant danger of death once In every ten
days on the average, and the probability
is hat they will prove fatal within six
months after the habit is formed. The
danger that he may be found dead is thus
always n real one with the habitue Of the
hypodermic, a danger that may at II
moment involve a coroner's inquest and
the imputation OF suicide. New York
